The absence of vegetation in urban areas contributes to the establishment of the urban heat
island, markedly increasing thermal stress for residents, driving morbidity and mortality …

A more detailed understanding of the micro-climatic thermal benefits of different urban tree
species and the retrospective species characteristics is necessary to guide management …

With rapid urbanization, population growth and anthropogenic activities, an increasing
number of major cities across the globe are facing severe urban heat islands (UHI). UHI can …

Abstract The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) is a widely recognised phenomenon that
profoundly affects the quality of life for urban citizens. Urban greenspace can help mitigate …

Urban parks can mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) by creating microclimates that lower in
temperature than their surroundings, which are known as park cooling effect (PCE). The …

Increasing urban tree cover is an often proposed mitigation strategy against urban heat as
trees are expected to cool cities through evapotranspiration and shade provision. However …

Green infrastructure (GI) has emerged as a feasible strategy for promoting adaptive
capacities of cities to climate change by alleviating urban heat island (UHI) and thus heat …

Urban forests can mitigate the urban heat island effect by serving as cooling islands.
However, urban forest cooling potentials and their influencing factors at the single tree and …

Urban areas typically experience higher temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas
that is known as the urban heat island effect (UHI). Urban greenery is capable of mitigating …

People living in cities are experiencing summerly heat stress situations with severe
consequences for their health, especially under climate change. Urban planning needs to …
